... and just imagine the wonderful comments that would be out there, and here, if Bush was the president. But since Mr. Hope and Change is in office, not one fricken major news network is commenting on his handling of this major cluster f**k.

This is terrible disaster. BP has accepted responsibility and they say they will cover all damages and other perils. We shall see about that.
But boycotts do not work. In this case a boycott will hurt many folks that have had nothing to do with this accident. This boycott is nothing more than a stupid assed way to vent our anger.
Speaking of anger, I would have hoped that Obama would have looked for and expressed how the feds could help rather than act like a child and shout his anger.
His childish behavior was like spanking a one year old for falling out of his high chair.
Mr. President we expect for your help, not your damn pandering!

My thought exactly. Like I mentioned earlier, Oil is a commodity and is being traded on the open market. You're most likely pumping BP oil into your car without knowing from other gas stations, like Exxon, Shell or Sunoco, etc.

Good point. Still, I stopped using BP back when I had my first Audi with twin turbos - because I noticed that the car would sputter very gently each time I pumped BP into it. Since then its Shell, Exxon or Sunoco for any of my rides. Which is not to say that either one of those companies could have handled such a disaster better, by the way. But it is pathetic that anyone - ANYONE!!! - would be allowed to drill without a plan for such contingencies. How does this same government mandate that every restaurant have a first aid kit and display instructions for helping a choking victim, but when it comes to spilling an insane amount of oil into the Gulf of Mexico, they are allowed to slide... BULLSHIT! Everyone is to blame - us, the government we allowed to be, the shit has been going on for decades, if not centuries - yet every time we the people get fucked royally and irreversibly, somehow we find the "strength to turn the other cheek"...
